This money box is an ode to a British icon: the red post box 📮
I made this a long time ago but it's still going strong - as sturdy and timeless as the real thing!

I made this spice rack out of pine which I stained and lacquered for an aged effect - now I just need to get some more spices to fill it! 🌶️🫚

Given that muggle coats unfortunately aren't invisible, this is the perfect coat hanger for any Harry Potter fan to keep your cloaks neatly stored while looking great in your entryway!

This ammo crate was made from pine which I stained and finished with clear mineral oil ⚒️

Spoilers: it doesn't contain any ammunition but a handmade Jenga set and a set of dominos

I thought I'd share some mock props I made

The first is a proclamation sign from the Order of the Phoenix.
The second is a newspaper article from the same film which I have framed in a simple frame to match the educational decree.
The third is a mirror frame I made to match the other frames.

A Tumbling Tower set I made from Oak. I'm thinking of adding these to my Etsy shop. What do you think?

A collection of personalised toasting cases I Made from Oak. I toasted the surface with a blowtorch to mimic technique used on the insides of Oak whiskey barrels. I engraved the initials using a CNC router before lacquering for a smooth shiny finish.

More on the Harry Potter theme: an Ollivanders themed seating plan inspired by the wand shop’s window display in Diagon Alley. It works well repurposed as a photo frame to display the wedding photos in our hallway 🪄

The this is an Oak key holder with the spell for opening locks on it, which you can use to hold your not so magical unlocking devices 🗝️🔐

This Platform 9 and 3/4 cake stand was definitely outside my comfort zone. I engraved the components on a CNC router, then cut and assembled the panels before painting.
I then added faux mortar to highlight the brickwork.

I made these window-sill boards from solid Oak, stained with Van Dyke Crystals and treated with Marine varnish.
The grooves were cut to help catch drips from watering plants and the edges were chamfered to complete the look.

I originally made this Pfaff sewing machine base into a sweet cart for my daughters wedding. Afterwards I made a beautiful American White Ash Top for it and gave it to her as a hall table for her new home

An Order of The Day sign I made for my daughters wedding, now repurposed into a climber for the garden.
Made from pine, stained with Van Dyke crystals and treated with linseed oil for protection before rehoming outside.

I think one of the most underestimated talents in broadcasting is @iainlee.com. He's like a butterball (big up, UK oldies). And his vod w/Katherine is one of the best watches.
